Xin take a big piece of meat inside of his inventory then collect firewood and start cooking the meat.
He sprinkled some spice and herbs into it, then he takes a piece of wood and start to make a big plate.
After half an hour Xin are done cooking, he cut a piece of meat then place it near Astraea's nose.
She sniff it like a dog then she eat it like a fish bite the hook.
Xin amazes in her speed, then he takes another piece of meat and places it near ner.
He feels that he was a hunter luring a cute animal to his trap.
Astraea bite the meat next to her, then her eyes slowly open she see Xin smiling at her. While holding fresh cook meat in his hand.
Xin grin and said,"Do you want to eat this?"
Astraea saliva drip from his mouth and she hastily nod.
Xin sadly said, "But I can't give it to you ~ you need to pay me"
Astraea check her pocket but she remembers that she doesn't have any money.
She sadly look at the piece of meat on Xin's hand.
Astraea looks like an abandoned puppy on the roadside.
Xin can't help but said,"If you want this food you need to work are you alright with that?"
Astraea did not even think and accept his offer.
Then Xin give her the meat, seeing Astraea happy eating the food he made.
Xin feel happy somehow.
After Astraea done eating she pout and said, "Ok let's go .. I'm going to help you once ok?"
Xin nod.
Astraea asks,"What kind of work you want me to do?"
Xin casually say,"You just need to follow me while I'm buying ingredients for dinner"
When she heard dinner, Astraea can't help but to gulp she can still taste the aftertaste of meat she just eat.
...….
Xin take Astraea with him, while walking she continues to ask Xin everything that new to her.
He patiently answered all of her questions,Xin knows that this is her first time coming down here.
Then Xin take her to one of the largest supermarkets in the town, The Sorami Supermarket!!.
Xin take a cart and start walking to get items that he needed.
But he did not notice that a troublesome girl suddenly take a pack of Potato Chip and open it.
She continues to follow Xin while eating everything she sees.
Xin happy humming while taking everything he needed, he suddenly heard a sound.
"Crunch"
"Crunch"
"Crunch"
He heard a crunching sound like someone is eating a crispy food when he turn around Xin horrified.
Astraea happy eating potato ch.i.p.s, Xin lips twitch then he sees trash in the way he just passes.
Xin helpless asks," Astraea What are you doing?"
Astraea happy said,"Eating!!"
Xin said," Do you know that you need to pay for what you eat here?"
Astraea confuse said," But I see you taking food and placing in your cart are you not going to eat it?"
Xin knead his head and said," Yes you can take anything here but you can't eat here you need to pay whatever you take"
Astraea was shocked," But I thought that it was free!!"
Xin helpless said," Then take all the trash you discarded we need to pay all of that"
She hurry nod and go back to take all the empty ch.i.p.s container.
After that Xin come to the counter and pay for all that she eat and Xin items.
Xin calmly said,"In the future, you need to have money before taking anything you need to ask first before you get something! Understand?"
Astraea nod while carrying two plastic bags filled with grocery items.
Seeing that she already regretted what she did, Xin buy her an Ice Cream.
